Marknadens tid : Mellan folkhemskapitalism och nyliberalism
(2023) In Kriterium- Abstract
- This timely edited volume gather’s a number of Sweden’s leading historians who specialize on the profound transformations of the late 20th Century. Each chapter starts from an image, and at the center is the “market turn” – a multifaceted, but at the same time distinct historical process through which the market as an institution, an ideal, and a metaphor has become a focal point of social life. How did this happen?
The market turn left a big mark on Swedish politics, but it also changed people’s everyday lives, their language use, and frame of reference. The book shows that the market cannot be understood as a monolith – there have been several different market concepts and visions in circulation. Some overlapping and mutually...

How did this happen?
The market turn left a big mark on Swedish politics, but it also changed people’s everyday lives, their language use, and frame of reference. The book shows that the market cannot be understood as a monolith – there have been several different market concepts and visions in circulation. Some overlapping and mutually reinforcing, others in direct competition. Together they have interacted with different political and intellectual traditions, from the “people’s home capitalism” of the Welfare state era to libertarian and neoliberal understandings.
The edited volume sheds light on dramatic ruptures, but also on important continuities. The book reveals the often overlooked social, political, and cultural alliances of the market turn, and renders clear the sometimes large differences between the actor’s intentions and the actual consequences.

- Marknadens tid samlar bidrag från några av Sveriges främsta historiker och fokuserar tiden från 1970-talet och framåt. Varje kapitel utgår från en bild, och i centrum står marknadsvändningen – en mångfacetterad, men samtidigt tydlig process genom vilken marknaden som institution, ideal och metafor blivit ledande inom samhällslivet. Hur kom det sig?
Marknadens tid satte stora avtryck i svensk politik, men den förändrade också människors vardagsliv, språkbruk och referensramar. Boken visar att marknaden inte kan förstås som en monolit – det har funnits flera olika marknadsbegrepp och -visioner i omlopp som både samverkat och konkurrerat. De har samspelat med olika traditioner, från ’folkhemskapitalism’, till libertarianska och...

Marknadens tid satte stora avtryck i svensk politik, men den förändrade också människors vardagsliv, språkbruk och referensramar. Boken visar att marknaden inte kan förstås som en monolit – det har funnits flera olika marknadsbegrepp och -visioner i omlopp som både samverkat och konkurrerat. De har samspelat med olika traditioner, från ’folkhemskapitalism’, till libertarianska och nyliberala tankegångar.
Antologin kan därmed peka på historiska brott, men också viktiga kontinuiteter längre bakåt i välfärdsstatens historia. Den historiska blicken avtäcker marknadsvändningens ofta förbisedda sociala, politiska och kulturella allianser, och belyser de tidvis stora skillnaderna mellan aktörernas avsikter och hur det sedan blev.
